About First Student
First Student is an industry leader famous for our yellow school buses and service and safety excellence. For over 100 years, we have provided student transportation services to schools, and we are proud to be part of FirstGroup America—the largest provider of safe, reliable, and sustainable surface passenger transportation services in North America.
We safely operate more than one-third of all contracted school buses in North America. Together, our 50,000 school buses travel nearly 600 million miles per year, the equivalent of 1,200 round trips to the moon. We operate in around 550 locations throughout 38 U.S. states and 8 Canadian provinces.
Innovation and Safety
We were the first school bus company to utilize global positioning systems (GPS), so at any one time we know where all our buses are and how fast they're traveling. Passionate about safety, we've installed Safety Crossing Gates on the front of all our school buses and use the Child Check-Mate™ electronic reminder system to ensure no sleeping children remain inside a bus at the end of each route.
Our commitment to safety has been recognized with the Occupational Excellence Achievement Award from the National Safety Council two years in a row. FirstGroup also received the National Safety Council's (NSC) Green Cross for Safety Medal—the highest award for safety in North America.
Our Culture
Our culture fosters growth and promotes respect, reliability, responsibility, and safety. We recruit people who share these values and work together to build strong, trusting partnerships in the communities we serve. By doing our job well, we make a positive impact on many lives, including the millions of students who travel with us every school day.
